Tingwei Meng Luo has been busy and anxious recently. Since the reform www.biquge.info of the imperial court and the establishment of Zongzheng to supervise the Liu nobles, his work has been endless. It stands to reason that the nobles who violate the law should be under the jurisdiction of the general government, but the cases of the nobles enclosing land and harming the people within the jurisdiction often involve eagles and dogs.

These nobles are not stupid, they lead the court offerings, they are not greedy, and use the titles and silver in their hands to communicate with the county guards and yamen, resulting in the annexation of land and the loss of people. There is no big war in the jurisdiction, and there are many places where the people are not able to make a living.

When the case broke out, the nobles desperately found someone to blame, and the person who blamed was not the Liu family, and Zongzheng Mansion was leisurely, and they were sent to the Tingwei Mansion to punish the crime. And the investigation and verification, almost every case is full of loopholes. Some people's family members took the money of the nobles and tried their best to confess their crimes, but they often couldn't tell them what they had committed; What's more, he retracted his confession in court and revealed that Zongzheng Mansion had received money, and colluded with the nobles to kill people and kill people.

Meng Luo went to Zongzheng Mansion many times to find Wu Zhiping to communicate about such cases, not that he couldn't find anyone, that is, he entered the palace to face the saint. Meng Luo thought to himself, Wu Zhiping is a close confidant of the Son of Heaven, and if he reflects these problems to the Son of Heaven, he is afraid of committing the taboo of being close to each other, but it is not a solution to never see anyone after all. After getting the exact news that day, Dazong Zhengshi returned to the mansion and hurried to see him.

But the subordinates in Nafu refused to report whether they were alive or dead, and they were stunned to say that Da Sikong had been tired for days and had now rested, so that Meng Luo would come again that day, Meng Luo was angry and unfair, and scolded him loudly and said:

"Don't prevaricate me! I'm a court lieutenant! ”

But the doorman didn't blink, and said with a sneer:

"Don't say anything about official positions, I don't understand, I only know that in addition to the Son of Heaven, the princes of the Liu family have to wait when they come to see Dazongzheng, you can't afford to wait, just go"

It was still Meng Luo's subordinates who were quick to take care of, wrapped a little silver taels and handed them to the doorman, begging him with all kinds of good words, and Meng Luo went to the door.

Entered the main gate, but still not seen, to wait in the side hall for a while, Meng Luo was already resentful, thinking to himself, "A person has won the Tao chicken dog ascended to heaven, sure enough", there is also an official family waiting together, Meng Luo looked familiar, after an inquiry, he knew that this is today's uncle, Liu Lu, the king of Lu.

Meng Luo couldn't help but be surprised: "King Lu came from afar, what happened?" ”

"It's a shame to say that the dog is not good, and he got drunk and caused trouble, so I came to ask for forgiveness from Dazongzheng"

"The Son of Heaven has always respected the elders of the same sect, why didn't King Lu go and meet the Son of Heaven?"

Liu Lu hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "This, this, the Son of Heaven is busy and does not dare to beg for mercy." Then he glanced out of the door and whispered sideways: "Dazong Zheng has won the trust of the Son of Heaven, and since he took office, he has dealt with no less than 100 incidents of clan law, and the Son of Heaven has never objected."

Meng Luo couldn't stay any longer, resigned from King Lu, and walked away, the doorman was puzzled and asked:

"Your Excellency left before entering the main hall?"

Meng Luo glanced at the cheap slave viciously, and blurted out: "The big sect is busy, and the lower officials can't afford to wait."

Back at the mansion, I was bothered by what I saw, the guards came to report, in the forbidden palace, the guard Zhang Jiu asked the court captain to go, saying that it was diagnosed by the imperial doctor, and the queen Liu Huizhen was suspected of being plotted and poisoned, and now she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead.

Meng Luo led a group of people to the forbidden palace without stopping, but several eunuchs took them around the main hall of the harem, Meng Luo asked puzzledly:

"Where was the queen poisoned, isn't she in the dormitory?"

"Lord Tingwei didn't know that the queen mother was invited to Miss Chongyuanyi's first drink, and passed out in Miss Chong's residence."

Meng Luo's heart trembled, although Chong Yuanyi said that she had not officially married the Son of Heaven, there were only three days left in the marriage, and the harem competition for favor had reached such a point? I thought to myself, the man of the Chong family is ruthless, and this woman is not far behind. But after thinking about it, he poisoned the queen in his residence so unabashedly, and the harem was not so blatant, so he hurried to it when he thought about it.

When they arrived, outside the porch, Chong Yuanyi and his attendants had been controlled by the guard captain Zhang Jiuri, and were surrounded by a group of soldiers. Meng Luo looked through the cracks in the human slit, and saw a beautiful woman dressed gorgeously and sobbing, thinking that this person must be Chong Yuanyi.

The queen was still lying motionless in the cabinet, and several imperial doctors said that they had taken the detoxification powder, but their pulse was disordered, and it was not known whether they could be saved. Meng Luo was about to order his subordinates to test the water that the queen had drunk, and reported:

"The Son of Heaven has arrived!"

As soon as Liu Penzi entered the door, he was like a headless fly, he was in a mess, and hit the porch with his head, and then scolded:

"The unlucky porch has been sawed for me!"

A little eunuch said more: "Your Majesty, is it a single saw, or is it also sawed in the inner room?" ”

Liu Penzi turned around and kicked him to the ground, pointed at the guard Zhang Jiuri and said, "Saw this damn slave with me!" Let him report to Lord Yama! The face was hideous and quite brutal, but it made Meng Luo shudder.

Zhang Jiuri said resignedly: "Your Majesty, spare him, this new person who has entered the palace is young and ignorant."

"No more nonsense, I've sawed your head! I say what you want, I say I don't let you train in the suburbs, you just don't listen."

Guangluxun Sun Long also interjected at this time: "Zhang Zhang Jiuri, you don't saw, you don't saw, I will see for you"

Zhang Jiuri didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly said, "The minister has orders!" Let's do it", waved his hand helplessly at his soldiers, and the little eunuch was almost carried out, begging for mercy.

Liu Penzi entered the room to see the queen, but saw that Liu Huizhen's face was bloodless, and there was no sign of improvement. The room was full of urgency, angrily reprimanding the imperial doctor for being useless, several imperial doctors were busy kneeling down to plead guilty, and Liu Penzi still didn't give up:

"Kneel! Just kneel! I can't save the queen, you just break your knees, and I will break your car! ”

Meng Luo couldn't stand it anymore, walked to Liu Penzi's side, and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the matter has not yet been clarified, don't start killing indiscriminately, such a killing method will lose people's hearts"

Without waiting for the Son of Heaven to reply, the guard reported: "Taifu Liu Yilun has entered the palace!" ”

Liu Penzi hurriedly asked, "Did you bring soldiers and horses?" ”

"I Brought Only Three Attendants"

Liu Penzi sighed, introduced Meng Luo into the small pavilion of the side hall, and then leaned over and almost knelt down, Meng Luo was so shocked that he hurriedly knelt on the ground first, only to hear Liu Penzi hurriedly say:

"Meng Aiqing, save me!"

Meng Luo hurriedly picked up the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, where are you talking about this?"

"Don't tell lies in front of real people, after the reform of the imperial court, although I have some real power, but there are always no soldiers and horses, it is thanks to the alliance with the Liu family that the prime minister and the general can be deterred, the current queen is like this, if she dies in the forbidden palace, the great Sikong Xingbing asks for guilt, how can I be good? Without the queen, will the Liu family still recognize me as the son of heaven? ”

Meng Luo was asked by Liu Penzi's words, and he was amazed in his heart, Liu Penzi's brutal state was more like a dumb lord, and now he is turning to himself for help, but he can see the situation into the head of the Tao, sometimes cruel like a businessman, sometimes as smart as a high ancestor, like a cloud and mountain fog cover, which makes people unable to figure out and see through.

"Your Majesty, don't panic first, wait for the ministers to order his subordinates to find out the facts of the case, first give an explanation to the Taifu, and the rest of the things must be discussed in the long run"

"Yes, yes! Tingwei, please go and check it out quickly! ”
